Sold in the Slave Market of Algiers -- From Able Seaman to Feminized Slave The Tale of Jacob West 

Wispy, blond-haired, Jacob West, found work on his uncle’s merchant ship Mercury, after his father was killed. He was nineteen, a grown man, but could have passed for thirteen, with a smooth, pretty face more suited for a young girl. But Jacob was the first out of his hammock when all hands was called, he forced himself to climb the rigging without looking down, he never complained about the lack of sleep or nonstop calls to enter the rigging, and kept his mouth shut unless he was asked a question. The kicks, blows with a rope’s end, and insults stopped after the first week, when he carried on instead of complaining. By the end of the second week, his messmates were saving his biscuit and salt-pork if he was last-man-down the mainmast. By the end of his first month, they treated the slim, smooth-faced lad, like a like one of their own. Blown off course by a mistral, they lose their convoy and their Royal Navy escort. Mercury is attacked by Barbary pirates and the crew taken prisoner. Jacob brings a fine price as he stands naked in the slave market of Algiers. Limited to only four wives, rich men of Algiers buy feminine looking men and keep them for entertainment. Jacob learns to please Ismail Abdullah, learns the seductive dance of the bacha bazi, and waits for his opportunity to escape. A 14,000 word novella.
